Abstract

Incident wave angles are conventionally estimated by the directional spectrum analysis of wave data collected from in-situ sensors. The in-situ measurements are limited in monitoring incident wave angles in the wide surf zone, since the techniques are typically expensive, labor-intensive, and point-measuring. In this study, estimation of incident wave angles using wave crest features captured in digital video imagery is proposed to observe incident wave directions over the surf zone. Line signatures of wave crests having high image pixel intensities are extracted by moving an interrogation window to identify high intensity pixels in sequential video images. Wave angles are computed by taking the first derivative of the extracted crest signatures, i.e. local slope of the crest signatures in the two-dimensional physical plane. Compared to the wave angle estimates obtained by the directional spectrum analysis, video-based wave angle estimates show good agreements in general.

해안에서 입사파향은 일반적으로 실측 파랑자료로부터 생성한 파향 스펙트럼 분석을 통하여 구하지만, 파향의 실측기법은 현장 계기설치시 많은 인력과 비용이 소요되기 때문에 전 쇄파지역에 걸쳐 입사파향을 관측하기에는 어려움이 따른다. 이러한 이유로, 본 연구는 해안 디지털 비디오 자료에 나타나는 입사파의 파봉선을 이용하여 쇄파지역에서 입사파의 변화를 관측하는 기술을 제안한다. 파봉선은 이미지 상에서 선인식 기법을 이용하여 이미지 강도가 큰 픽셀들을 추적해 나감으로써 추출한다. 입사파향은 추출된 파봉선의 일차미분값, 즉, 실제 평면좌표 공간에서 파봉선의 기울기를 계산하여 구한다. 비디오 자료로부터 입사파향의 측정결과는 실측 파랑자료의 파향 스펙트럼으로부터 구한 파향 계산결과와 비교적 잘 일치한다.
